How to create own turnpoints in map incl. setting up msl height

Post by alexlee » Sun Nov 21, 2021 7:52 pm

Hi,

I tried to make some own turnpounts in arc alpin 2. But It always shows me "0m". So building a task with zeroed height doesn´t make any sense.The section where you could enter the correct height is grayed out. The idea was to add some popular ski areas as waypoints. Is there a way ? I figured out the is a waypoit file for each map.

best regards,

Alexander

FYI: Custom waypoints are saved in mydocuments/condor/waypoints

Don't edit the one in the landscape folder.

I've used Google Earth. If you move the cursor over the point, it will give you the Lat/Lon and the elevation in the bottom right corner. You can change the settings on GE to roughly match the format of the turnpoint file, except you omit the degree sign. Condor will accept up 4 decimal places for better precision.
